Aside from Hill/Timothy (who know what they're doing), the rest of her staff must be absolute fuckwits.
Theresa May's Conservatives
Jeremy Corbyn's Labour
Tim Farron's Liberal Democrats
Paul Nuttall's UKIP
2 people's Greens
Nicholas Durgeon's Scottish Nationalists
Satan's Sinn Fein
Dr Ian Paisley's DUP
Some other bunch of nonces
I'm foreign, but I wish I were an Englishman

"As they would say in Brussels, ‘Donnez moi un break.’ … With the greatest respect to the debaters last night, I’m not sure that sure that Europe were watching in quite the way that you suggest." - Boris.
Can't move for people saying 'Donnez moi un break'
Corbz probably needs a lead of about 10 for it to actually translate to a win. Realistically, unless Scotland bins the SNP or dumps the Conservatives as their current protest vote then the whole thing is done.
Postal vote's been sent off, went for our Jeremy. Thought every option seemed as rotten as the next a month ago but he's grown on me over the campaign.
As I said earlier in the thread its in the most snp of snp slots lol so whatever.
Wouldn't surprise me if the SNP get a bit of a slapping from Labour in some parts and the Tories in others (and the LDs in a couple, maybe). Dunno how many seats will go, probably a solid handful.
The Economist has endorsed the Lib Dems, this could change everything.
I don't even care who wins, if it sees the SNP sink back in to irrelevance I'll be happy.
The SNP are shit, only cyberNATs care about SCOTTISH LABOUR. Trust me, a lot will be voting for Corby.Originally Posted by Spikey M
The COALITION OF CHAOS is becoming a reality.
Usually when they measure it, Scotland is way more left wing in terms of actual opinions than any part of England, so Corbyn should smash it.
The Corbyn minority government will be: Corbyn, McDonnell (terrifying), a bunch of red stooges, Caroline Lucas as energy secretary, a confidence and supply agreement with the SNP in exchange for a referendum, not sure if he'll get the remaining Lib Dems onside with all that. He'd probably need Sinn Fein to take their seats (not happening, although I wouldn't put anything past them) because all the unionist MPs will basically be extra Tories in this scenario.
All of the above will be voted down by about 150 of his own backbenchers as well as 300 Tories.
Ergo he couldn't sustain the confidence of the house. He won't last two years. The Scottish independence bill would probably be voted down, causing the SNP to collapse the coalition and campaign on Maximum Grievance.
Actually, I reckon any party (even the Tories) should give Caroline Lucas the energy department, give her a certain budget and say 'do what you like'. She couldn't turn that down, and environment policy would be less wank.
I've just seen this former Obama Chief of Staff that is helping run the Tory campaign
Christ.
Lol is there anything this woman actually will do?
She must be knocking on a shitload of doors, or writing down every word that "the voters" tell her with parchment and a fountain pen.
This is amazing, like Leicester winning the PL without the tinpotness. GS seethe alone will give me pleasure for days. The momentum is unstoppable.
She's useless.
I would call it style over substance but that would be bullshit as while she sure as shit doesn't have any of the latter there's none of the former there either.
I've never experienced living under a proper left wing government. What's the protocol? Do I need to buy some straw and prepare the spare room (for me) come Friday 9th?
At least you won't be taxed on the spare room.
She'll still win as the silent blue vote will do the job (and the wailing whingy lefty student fucks won't get out of bed to vote before 10pm), but fuck me, it should have been a landslide. I guess it still might.
Is Cleggers in with a shot of losing his seat and having to join alarm clock Britain?
My wife is an a disinterested voter and has no fucking idea who she wants to vote for. Are there any short articles / programs that give a quick run down of the options?
I saw Tim Farron on the news, and I think it was the first time I've seen him clarify his second referendum balls. First we negotiate the 'deal', and then we vote to leave on it or stay in. Yeah, mate. Yeah. That should ensure smooth negotiations. You absolute cunt.
There's quite a good one here.
I'd have less of a problem if he just called a spade a spade and said he thinks it's a terrible idea that we leave, the British people fucked up in voting for us to do so and he's going to gerrymander the shit out of the process until the 'right' result is achieved. Hiding behind this bullshit about letting the people decide (err, we already did you tool) is straight from the SNP's Stalinist inspired playbook and their absolute refusal to admit what their real motivations are.
Is Labour 'proper left?'
If Corbyn gets into power they will be. You can kiss goodbye to whatever softly softly bullshit was in the manifesto.
Use her vote for yourself.
Calm down.
What 'soflty softly' bullshit is in the manifesto? What does that even mean?
Free university, higher corporation tax, 50p tax rate for all the rich cunts. That horrible stuff, you know.
Is that what you can kiss goodbye to?
After a quick read on the manifesto (like judging a player based on a Youtube reel,) I declare it proper left.
Interesting read about Yougov's polling methodology here.
Just get Charles Kennedy back ffs. At least it was entertaining trying to work out if he was pissed during his speeches.
Didn't he die?
He actuality was a depressed alcoholic.
Just get Charles Kennedy back ffs. At least it was entertaining trying to work out if he was pissed during his speeches.
Fuck, he died
I'm burning hell, then, that's good to know.
Labours manifesto is pretty much fully costed and works for the many, not the few.
I don't see what there's not to like!
Definitely not Harold.
Jez couldn't get half this shit through parliament, never mind stuff from the mentalist fringe. Moderates aren't going to listen to the whips, and they'd argue that they ran local campaigns effectively independent of the manifesto commitments and thus aren't bound by it.
He'd need a Blair 2005 majority, absolute minimum. Even then, he'd struggle.
His Queen's Speech doesn't get through, and we're back to the polls within 18 months.
You sound like you're scared, GS.
No sensible Tory is. In the midst of the SURGE, very few consider the actual logistics of what would happen. You're only PM if your government can command the confidence of the house. He can't even put a shadow cabinet together. Where are the ministers coming from to populate an entire government?
I thought the Labour manifesto was a group effort otherwise you would have had Trident being scrabbed and the Queen dethroned.
I think given the public perception of Jeremy Corbyn now compared to a month ago even that the Labour party backstabbers would be foolish to test him. He was re-elected as the leader, his seat in his constituency is as close to untouchable as you're going to get and by the large the man is just a genuine human being. I don't know where his bench cabinet will come from but I can almost imagine the MP's that were slating him and resigning not so long ago are regretting it now. He strikes me as more of a leader than any of the other parties. In an ideal and fanciful world he and Caroline Lucas would form an alliance.
Absolutely loving the 'Manifesto doesn't matter' GS.
MANDATE
No, I said that would be their argument for not voting for things they don't agree with. They're already on record calling him useless by refusing to serve in the shadow cabinet, so they can't exactly retreat on the position. Jez couldn't exactly complain, having voted against the Labour whip 480 odd times.
The issue with MANDATE would be the Lords not blocking what Wor Jez has in his manifesto as per the Salisbury Convention. There would be nothing stopping the Commons.
Not that any of it matters as he is never going to win.
Lol
(Would like to reiterate that I think Labour will get smashed, I just find the about turn on the conversation funny)
Well, quite.
SNP. Sigh.David Dimbleby presents topical debate from Barnet in north London.
On the panel are Conservative Brexit secretary David Davis, Labour's shadow international trade secretary Barry Gardiner, Liberal Democrat former deputy prime minister Nick Clegg, SNP deputy leader Angus Robertson and Ukip deputy chairman Suzanne Evans.
